 Meditation Made Easy, by Lorin Roche, PH.D.
Have you ever wondered about this meditation thing? Have you ever asked yourself if you should start meditating – after all, even Time magazine put mediation on the cover (Aug.4th, 2003) – or, if you currently do meditate, whether you’re doing it "right?" What do others experience when they go off for five or ten or thirty minutes to just sit, quietly? What’s it really all about?
Meditation Made Easy is a straightforward, easy-to-read book that takes the mystery out of meditation. It encourages people to develop their own style of meditation that works for them, no matter what it may be. From simple exercises for beginners, to more complex, longer rituals, Dr. Roche provides something for everyone. His list of ways to make yourself miserable in meditation refutes most of the common misconceptions about the practice. The "Meditation Top Forty" is a list of meditation techniques adapted from the Bhairava Tantra, an ancient Sanskrit mediation text. He’s also included ways to bring mediation into every part of your day, for almost every occasion and situation.
All in all, this gentle, and at times moving, book will give you the confidence that yes, you can meditate, and yes, you are doing it "right."
